LG's Optimus 3D Max smartphone will kick-off its global
roll-out today starting in Europe. The company's
second-generation 3D smartphone boasts an enhanced
chipset and more 3D entertainment features in a lighter
body.
"This device has evolved significantly since we
introduced the first Optimus 3D at Mobile World Congress
in 2011. Our second generation glasses-free 3D
smartphone is as thin and light as any other high-end
smartphone while still de-livering a spectacular picture
in either 2D or 3D," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President
and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
The Optimus 3D Max now includes a new 3D Converter which
allows for a greater variety of 3D content as it
converts 2D content from Google Earth, Google Maps and
other mapping apps into 3D. The device?s 3D video editor
also allows the editing of 3D video on the phone in real
time. A 3D Hot Key mounted on the side of the phone
enables users to toggle between 2D and 3D. The Optimus
3D Max includes 3D-style cubicle icons in addition to
its customizable icons which can be amended by applying
the users? own photos through the Icon Customizer
feature.
Additional features, which will be available through an
upcoming maintenance release (MR), include a HD
Converter to offer high resolution content to be viewed
on a TV connected through MHL (Mobile High-Definition
Link) and Range Finder, which calculates the distance
between the camera and a subject as well as the
dimensions of an object through triangulation.
As for its new form-factor, the Optimus 3D Max is 2mm
slimmer and 20g lighter than its predecessor, measuring
9.6 mm thin and weighing 148g. The 5MP camera on the
rear captures both photos and video in 3D using its dual
lenses. The recorded material can be viewed directly on
the smartphone in glasses-free 3D or on a 3D capable
computer monitor or TV.
